celebrity edition, storm taylor – who the hell are you?
So with all this hullabaloo over the The Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia premiering on the west coast this Saturday, June 27th, at the LA Film Festival, we’re happy as heck to introduce you to Storm Taylor. Not only was he directly involved with the filming and production of the documentary, but he’s a longtime friend of Johnny Knoxville’s from Tennessee. Until now I’ve never really had any personal interaction with Storm, but after talking to Knoxville I was able to learn a bit more about him and his life—maybe even a ‘coon’s hair more than I really needed to know. Dude, a white Cabriolet? Now that’s hardcore.
Who the hell are you, how old are you, and where are you from?
My name is Robert Rhea Taylor II, known by most, and most of my life, as Storm. I am the Producer and Assistant Director for The Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia. I was born in Maryville, TN, in ‘67. I moved to the big city of Knoxville, TN, to go to school, but have since returned to the foothills of Maryville to raise my family. (more…)

photos of the day – storm taylor, wild whites producer
New York, New York—here we come! After fifteen months of following the Wild Whites around it was a welcomed opportunity to make my way to the Tribeca Film Festival. Not only was I excited to see our work on the big screen but it was the first opportunity for me and Julien [Nitzberg] to actually “hang out” in a non-work environment. For the first time we actually had conversation over a faux-French meal, and not a “meat and three” at a truck stop or a BLT and soup at the Park Avenue Motel in Danville, WV (our home away from home while filming).

The first time I met Mamie White she was on acid and broke up a three woman cat fight during a documentary I was shooting. The second time I met Mamie she was also on LSD and told me I had to come to her birthday party because she was going to have a cake “with tits and a pussy on it.” Never one to say no to cake, I took her up on the offer.
